Short book review: Star Wars: a New Hope: Cinestory Comic

Star Wars: a New Hope: A Cinestory Comic. Toronto, ON: Joe Books, Ltd., 2017. ISBN: 9781772755213.
 
Genre: comics and graphic novels
Subgenre: film adaptation, Star Wars
Format: trade paperback
Source: Berea branch of the Madison County (KY) Public Library
 
 

This is part of the cinestory series of books where they take a movie or television series and make a comic out of it using photos from the movie or television show. In this case, they take the original Star Wars film and frame by frame turn it into a comic. It's basically like seeing the movie on the page. This is a very easy read that can appeal to long time fans and new readers as well. Note this is not the original theatrical release. This is the revised edition where George Lucas "tweaked" and added small extras. Still, it is a good read and a nice option if the film is not handy. I liked it. 
 
3 out of 5 stars.
